Operation and Controls
DISPLAY SCREEN
The display screen shows the temperature level from –11° to 10°F(-24° to -12°C) in Freezer Mode and
35°F to 46°F (2° to 8°C) in Refrigerator Mode.
After setting the desired temperature, the set temperature will stay on for about 30 seconds then it will
disappear.
The display screen will show the current set temperature every time the door is opened.
TEMPERATURE MEMORY FUNCTION
In the event of a power interruption (power surge, breaker switch, etc.), the convertible refrigerator/deep
freezer restarts at the previously set function mode and settings when power is restored.
NOTE: If the appliance is unplugged, encounter power interruption, or turned off, you must wait 3 -5 minutes
before restarting the appliance. If attempted to restart before this time delay, the appliance may not start.
TEMPERATURE OUT OF RANGE ALARM
Refrigerator Mode
If the internal temperature is at least 59°F (15°C) different than the set temperature 36 hours after closing the
door, an audible alarm will activate for 10 seconds for every two minutes. This audible alarm sequence will
continuously run until it is deactivated.
Freezer Mode
If the internal temperature is at least 18°F (-8°C) different than the set temperature 36 hours after closing the
door, an audible alarm will activate for 10 seconds for every two minutes. This audible alarm sequence will
continuously run until it is deactivated.
The alarm can be deactivated by pressing any button on the control panel.
Some possible causes are:
Ambient room temperature is too warm or cold. Adjust the room’s temperature.
The ventilation openings are blocked or dusty. Make sure to remove any obstructions.
There is too much frost build up. Defrost the convertible refrigerator/deep freezer.
There are door seal gaps. Make sure that the door is properly closed and door seals are not cracked or
broken.
FREEZER LIGHT
This convertible refrigerator/deep freezer comes equipped with energy saving light, which helps in lighting up
the interior effectively. This convertible refrigerator/deep freezer light comes on automatically when the con-
vertible refrigerator/deep freezer door is opened. The convertible refrigerator/deep freezer light will shut off
once the convertible refrigerator/deep freezer door is completely closed.
NORMAL SOUNDS
Your new convertible refrigerator/deep freezer may make sounds that are not familiar to you. Hard surfaces
like the floor, walls can make the sounds seem louder than they actually are. The following describes the
kinds of sounds that might be new to you and what may be making them.
Ratting noises may come from the flow of the refrigerant or the water line, items stored on top of the con-
vertible refrigerator/deep freezer can also make noises.
The surface temperature of the compressor can reach 158 - 194°F when running.
The high efficiency compressor may make a pulsating or high-pitched sound.
The noise emitted by the cooling fan on the condenser is a normal function.
It is normal for the fan in the power supply to run all the time.
As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant flowing in your convertible
refrigerator/deep freezer.
STORING FROZEN FOOD
For safe food storage, allow 4 hours for the convertible refrigerator/deep freezer to cool down completely.
The convertible refrigerator/deep freezer will run continuously for the first several hours. Foods that are al-
ready frozen may be placed in the convertible refrigerator/deep freezer after the first few hours of operation.
Unfrozen food should NOT be placed until it has operated for 4 hours. Allow several hours after each
one-step adjustment for the temperature to stabilize.
